Snake attack today!

[Mesterh]

 

Close call indeed!

 

I assume you amended the RA after that near miss?

[janey]

Smart lil' adder disguising itself as a harmless grass snake like that . When no one is looking, it can leap out of disguise and do it's worst!!!

Monty Python has nothing on you!

(its a snake thing)

Brave guy - that's what I was told to do as well - keep absolutely stock still and the snake won't bite you or see you as a threat.... easier said than done

[Dean Lofthouse]

I think it's fake

 

If you look really carefully, that varigated ivy leaf in the background looks plastic

We had for a couple of years a couple of grass snakes living in the compost heap, every time we went to put stuff on the heap one or both would hiss loudly. Made me jump out of my skin the first time it happened.

I think you're right.....the tomatoe looks real though.

that was a close one mark, glad your cutter was alright. i trust this eventuality was already discussed in your original risk assesment, given that your cutter new to stand and make a noise like a tomato to blend in and avert a potentially devastating encounter.
